Mac OS X 10.7.1 Update Released (Direct Download Links)

Mac OS X 10.7.1 update has been released by Apple for all OS X Lion users to download. One of the most significant bug fixes pertains to dropping WiFi issues, so if you have been experiencing connectivity problems don’t miss this update. Other fixes address issues with HDMI and optical audio, Safari video, and migrating data to OS X Lion.

The update is rather slim at 17.4 MB through Software Update for most Mac users, but there are also separate updates available specifically for MacBook Air 2011 and Mac Mini 2011 models that address issues with those machines too.

You can download the OS X 10.7.1 update through Software Update, but if you would rather download the update manually as a DMG for local use, you can do so from Apple:

Hey guy’s quick question! Didn’t get a chance to download the update, yet! But I’m just wondering after reading the above ( Resolve an issue that prevents transfer of your data) if the update fix’s the problem I’m having connecting my external hard drive to my iMac, problem only popped it’s head when I upgraded to lion. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!!
Cheers!

hey Matt, Managed to download the update, the only place i can see the external hard drive is in Disk Utility, but the repair option isn’t available, wouldn’t be a wizz kid when it comes to computers, so might i ask, is there anyway to manually correct this, as in have the external hard drive show up on the home screen/Finder the way it did with snow Leopard?
Thanks!

Ok, I’ve tried that, No change! The only thing I can think of is when I first plugged the external hard drive into My mac since I updated to lion it did show up, but just the once, I was making a recovery disk for lion, it hasn’t shown up since.

With this update, I’ve seen the issue of OSX Server 10.6.8 NOT retrieving the update to use within a network for update services. (My networked Macs are configured to use the address of 192.168.xxx.xxx to obtain various Apple updates rather than going to the Apple site) My OSX Server has always, prior to this update, been able to retrieve the Apple updates within hours of the release. Is Apple going to force System Software Updt. to always go back to Apple to retrieve the updates? Hum?

Still a problem with system preferences; not being able to open the locked panes. One other issue when I updated to 10.7.1 the Folder “Library” was missing so had to go back to terminal (chflags nohidden ~/Library/) to make it re-appear. The Appstore and Safari are still terribly slow. Will be downgrading to SNL with CCC until it improves.

The method I’m presently using while in this ‘early implementor’ mode has to utilize Onyx 2.4.0b X (it’s beta) from Titanium.com over in France. With this upgrade to 10.7.1, my hidden folders still aren’t hidden. I’ve had them available to test and adjust certain application preference files that don’t quite work right out of the box. Of course, this is prior to roll out in the production environment, and the individual user accounts will have these items hidden once more.
